The text is set to be updated at a predetermined time, and today there are only two updates. The second update will still be at 3:30 in the afternoon... Xiao Jingchen cried for more than half an hour before gradually stopping, and Bai Xijing held her tightly as they strolled through the forest that was slowly darkening due to the sunset. After Xiao Jingchen finally stopped crying, she looked up at Bai Xijing with tears in her eyes and asked, "Dad, is it true that there are no rabbits in the forest because someone caught them to eat? And did those people scare away all the birds too, so there aren't any bird nests on the branches? Are the words on the tree carved by someone with a knife? Does the little tree feel pain?"
Bai Xijing was left speechless by Xiao Jingchen's question. He had always tried to protect her, only letting her see the beautiful and vibrant side of humanity. But he didn't expect that just traveling and taking pictures would expose her to such a bloody scene. Although it was just a few wild rabbits being hunted by humans, it was enough to make her think of countless cruel realities.
Xiao Jingchen just reacts a bit slower, looks a bit silly, but isn't really stupid. After more than half a year of city life and making so many good friends, her thinking has become much more lively. She is absorbing all the knowledge she comes into contact with at a rocket-like speed. She remains simple, kind-hearted and innocent, but is no longer that naive and ignorant little girl who was isolated from the world.
Bai Xi Jing gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Jing's eyes, looking into her clear and distinct black and white pupils. After a moment of thought, he said, "Jing, later on you will slowly come to understand that in this world, right and wrong are not absolute, and people are not just divided into good and bad. Just like those uncles who killed the rabbits, for you, they are bad people because they killed the rabbits. But for their families, they are good people who work hard to earn a living and support them."
"Dust off, a person's power is limited, you can't change the world, so you can only adapt to it. Buddhism emphasizes that the cause of this life is the result of the previous one. Those rabbits being killed are indeed pitiful, but how do you know it's not their fate? Maybe in their past lives they owed a debt to those who hunted them, and this life they use their own lives to repay it. Maybe because they used their flesh and blood to let people have a full stomach, they accumulated good karma, so in the next life they can be reborn as happy and good people."
"Clean dust. We are just one of the many in the world, we are not Buddhas, we cannot save the world from suffering, all we can do is to keep our own heart, not be disturbed by others' evil, nor be swayed by others' kindness, as long as we can protect those we want to protect, a lifetime of peace and no regrets, that's enough!"
Bai Xijing is not a person who likes to talk about grand theories. His worldview, outlook on life, values, and views on right and wrong were originally established in the Bodhi Temple, but after leaving the mountain, he did not encounter a foolish father who only planned for himself. After experiencing countless twists and turns and paying the price of blood and tears, his worldview, outlook on life, values, and views on right and wrong had been distorted beyond recognition. Fortunately, he has a group of family members who truly care about him and love him, and he met the kind and lovely Xiao Jingchen, which is how the current Bai Xijing, standing in the sunlight with a warm aura, came to be.
Because of his own experiences, Bai Xijing doesn't want Bai Jingyun to go through the process of shattering and rebuilding her worldview, outlook on life, values, and sense of right and wrong. That's why he wants to pave a smooth road for her future. He won't let Bai Jingyun become another version of himself, nor will he let her become a saintly White Lotus who only knows kindness but not evil. He hopes his daughter can live freely and happily throughout her life.
When poor, cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, benefit all under heaven!!
Bai Xi Jing said too much, Xiao Jing Chen actually couldn't understand how much, but in her heart there was a deep-seated understanding - Daddy's words are all correct, Daddy's words are all important. So, the sharp auditory memory still firmly imprinted these words on her brain. In the future growth process, she will gradually understand the meaning of these words and strive to become the good daughter in Daddy's ideal... Really?
Bai Xi Jing, you will cry, you really will cry!
This kid's brain waves have never been on the same frequency as a normal person's!
When the father and daughter returned to the camp, the whole forest was filled with the aroma of roasted meat. Looking at Xiaojing's big, wet eyes, everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Director Tiejing even awkwardly hid the roasted meat behind his back. Xiaojing wrinkled her nose in disgust, turned her head and buried it in her father's neck, taking deep breaths to smell the unique scent on her father's body. Xiaojing seriously closed her eyes and pretended to be dead - I couldn't save those poor rabbits, and I definitely can't watch you eat rabbit meat with my eyes open, hum!
Bai Xijing carried Xiao Jingchen into the crew's large tent, where bedding had already been laid out. The October autumn tiger was still quite fierce, but the temperature in the mountain forest at night was also a bit low. Fortunately, neither Bai Xijing nor Xiao Jingchen were afraid of the cold.
She put down the small net dust, Bai Xi Jing turned around and left the tent, took away her own and small net dust's fast food, and unapologetically took away the iron eagle director's fast food as well. She picked out the meat dishes, and the vegetarian dishes and two portions of rice were all put into the small net dust's stomach. After eating and drinking enough, the small net dust wiped her oily mouth and went to the stream to wash up. With the help of silly dad, she removed her makeup and took off her cumbersome costume. Then, without looking at anyone or saying a word, she returned to the tent to sleep. During this time, she didn't greet anyone or look at anyone else, leaving Xu Lin Cang and An Qi with gloomy faces who had originally wanted to ease the atmosphere.
Xu Linlang, being older, didn't get angry at all. Instead, she brought fresh fruits to Bai Xijing's tent to visit Xiao Jingchen. Xiao Jingchen pursed her small mouth tightly and stared at Xu Linlang with big round eyes that didn't blink for a moment. Xu Linlang felt uneasy and her smile began to falter. Xiao Jingchen sniffled and picked up an apple, biting into it with a crisp "crunch".
Seeing Xiao Jingdian eating an apple, Xu Linyang let out a big sigh of relief, which should be considered as forgiving them for the mistake that scared her... right?!
Bai Xi Jing leaned against the bedding, gazing at Xu Lin Cang with a hint of a smile. He had a pretty good impression of this little girl. As a foolish father, he wouldn't hold grudges against anyone who was genuinely kind to his precious daughter. So, he rarely offered a kind explanation, "Jing Yun ate the apple you brought because she didn't eat rabbit meat for dinner."
Xu Linlang's eyes widened in surprise, her face filled with astonishment. "How did she know I hadn't eaten?"
"He pointed to his own nose and said, 'She's a vegetarian, so she's extremely sensitive to meat products. Her nose can smell it out as soon as she sniffs.'"
Xu Linlang's mouth twitched, gazing at the big eyes blinking rapidly and staring intently at Jingchen who was devouring an apple... After Xu Linlang left, An Qi also arrived, his small figure reflected on the tent under the firelight. He held his own lunchbox and said loudly, "Jingchen~, I brought you dinner, it's even more sumptuous than lunch!"
Little nose took a deep breath, little paws immediately covered the tip of the nose, Little Jingdian frowned and scrunched up her eyebrows like a ball of yarn, her round body flipped over and she burrowed into the blankets, hugging Daddy's arm, closing her eyes and pretending to be dead. Outside, Anqi was still shouting in a spoiled tone, "Jingdian~~~~!"
The lovely daughter, who had fallen asleep with her eyes closed and a sweet smile on her face, was infinitely doted on by her father, who gently hooked the corner of his mouth and whispered, "She's already asleep, you should go back and sleep early too."
“……Oh!!” An Qi hung his head, walking back and forth with a low mood, with two bubbles of sad and indignant tears in his eyes. For the fruit sent by Mao Lin's sister, she ate it all, but he didn't even have the chance to enter the tent, it was too damn unfair~T~T~
You little scoundrel who forgets righteousness at the sight of beauty…… That night, some people slept soundly through the dark sky and had no dreams, some people were insomnia like a pot sticker turning over the sky and earth, and some people stayed up all night to rush to shoot the night scene—— People are compared to death, goods are compared to goods, ah, is there or not ~!!!!
The next morning, Xiaojingchen's biological clock woke up on time. He opened the zipper of his tent and stepped out. The sun had not yet risen, but the eastern clouds were already shining with a radiant glow. A faint mist floated in the forest, and as he closed his eyes to take a deep breath, his entire chest was filled with fresh air. Xiaojingchen's mood suddenly lifted along with the moist mountain breeze.
Yesterday's unpleasantness seems to have been just a dream. Although Xiaojing is young and ignorant, sometimes silly and adorable, Master Zhu has explicitly stated that she is the most Buddhist and wisest disciple of Bodhi Temple. Due to her innate nature, even if she were a boy, she would not be able to become a high-ranking monk in Buddhism, but she possesses a pure heart that cannot be shaken by any evil, and she can always see the bright spots of human nature, forgiving the flaws that cannot be erased from human nature.
The tent flap next to it moved, and An Qi walked out with two panda eyes that were dull and listless. When he saw Xiao Jingchen, he suddenly froze for a moment, his expression seemingly dazed, and it took him half a day to react, shuffling over, "Jingchen, are you still angry?"
Xiao Jingchen pursed her small mouth tightly, her black and white cat-like eyes staring unwaveringly at An Qi.
Being stared at by a pair of bright and watery eyes, An Qi felt a bit overwhelmed. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his voice slightly trembling as he glared back, "Fine, I'll apologize to you, sorry... although I have no idea what I did wrong to offend you."
The last sentence was spoken in a very small voice, so small that it was almost just a whisper. Xiaojing moved her ears slightly and heard it quite clearly. She blinked her eyes and said seriously, "Since you sincerely apologize, I forgive you. As for what exactly went wrong, think about it slowly yourself. Master says that only when you understand thoroughly will you truly remember, and then you won't make the same mistake again."
An Qi: "......" brain cells all tangled up, all displaced, crying to the heavens and earth, yet still can't figure out what I did wrong!!! RQ
